Strength of materials

important available materials for construction in Egypt and all over the world. It is used in almost all structures as: buildings, shells, bridges, tunnels, tanks and retaining walls. Concrete is made by mixing binding materials as sand and gravel held together with a paste of cement and water. The used of admixture is to change certain characteristic of concrete such as workability, durability and time of hardening. Some of concrete advantages are its high compressive strength, its ability to cast

Astonishing Strength Characteristics of Stone-Thrower-Wales Defects in Graphene under Compressive Load G. Rajasekaran Rajesh Kumar and Avinash Parashar Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee - 247667, India ABSTRACT: One atom-thick sheet of carbon discovered this century is flaunted not just for its electrical properties but also for its physical strength and flexibility. The bonds between carbon atoms are well known as the strongest in nature

From that time, their characteristics such as high strength to weight ratio and energy efficient started to attract engineers’ attention, and many research and studies enables them to be used safely in modern constructions. While sandwich panels can be made by the combination of a variety of materials, the structure of them always shares a same pattern. Two relatively thin and strong facings on both side, and a relatively light and thick core materials in the middle. It is also worth to notice that the

variety of innovative designs. It can be cast in diverse shapes and with its several advantages such as high compressive strength, low thermal and electrical conductivity low combustibility and toxicity is considered to be a very attractive building material. However some deficiencies of the conventional cement concrete such as brittleness, poor tensile strength; poor impact strength etc. resulting cracks and hence becoming unsuitable for certain applications. Major research in this field identified

Chapter 4 Mathematical Model to Predict Compressive Strength of Concrete Composites 4.1 Introduction Compressive strength is defined as the measured maximum resistance of a concrete to axial loading. Compressive strength of concrete is one of the main structural requirement to ensure that the structure will be able to carry the designed load. Compressive strength is also used as a measure of quality, such as durability and resistance to weathering. The properties of the concrete develop as a result

matrixes. Considering that bone is a composite of minerals and proteins, it is preferred to develop a composite that mimics natural bone. The ideal nanocomposite materials should have biocompatibility, suitable mechanical and antimicrobial properties, nontoxicity and surface functionality to favor cell proliferation.1,2 Many organic-inorganic materials have been developed to mimic natural bone which is composed of inorganic hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) and organic collagen fibrils. Among these, chitosan

The experimental results depend on a combination of test parameters, structural parameters and materials parameters. For the complete stress-strain curve, the test parameters are difficult to be separated from the material and structural parameters. The softening behavior of concrete, as found in laboratory tests, depends strongly on structural aspects such as specimen dimensions, boundary conditions and feed-back signal. And it also depends on test parameters such as testing machine characteristics

improvement via mechanical energy absorption are the main goals of car manufactures. Application of advanced high-strength dual phase (DP) steels is being considered as one of the efficient ways to obtain the above mentioned goals [1-3]. (DP) steels have attracted considerable attention in the automotive industry due to favorable combination formability, work hardening, ductility and high strength to weight ratio [4]. The mentioned features is resulted from the unit microstructure of the DP steels. DP steels
